That night, no one in the entire capital could sleep peacefully.
Baixiaolou is in trouble!
The fire spread all the way to nearby streets, burning all the surrounding houses, and all buildings within a five-mile radius were reduced to charcoal.
In the end, the guards of the capital and the two major sword sects took action at the same time to cut off the line of fire, thus stopping the fire.
After burning all night, the fire in Baixiao Tower was finally extinguished.
Tongfu Inn is far away from Baixiao Tower, but after Qin Xiao and the others heard the news of the fire in the middle of the night, they still went to Lu Xiaoyue's house and asked about it. After confirming that she was okay, they felt relieved.
Lu Xiaoyue didn't sleep all night. After Qin Xiao and the others said hello and left, she had been lying by the window looking towards Baixiao Tower.
The flames of Baixiao Tower soared into the sky, and they could be seen clearly even from a long distance away.
While watching, she chatted with Jianzhen.
"Mu stick, why do you think Baixiao Tower burned down?"
How could I know...
Jian Zhen scratched his head and said: "This... it should be because their own fire protection is not good, right?"
"Really?" Lu Xiaoyue obviously didn't believe it, but she couldn't think of a more reliable answer.
"This... I'm afraid we have to wait for the results to come out before we can be sure, right?"
After such a serious fire occurred, the cause and effect must be investigated no matter what. Otherwise, how can we explain to those whose homes were burned down?
Of course, this is not all that needs to be explained!
The Immortal Selection Conference is coming soon. If there is a riot in the capital, the Immortal Selection Conference may not be able to be held safely.
The Shadowless Sword Sect will definitely take action to find out.
"You said... what would happen if our building also burned down?" Lu Xiaoyue suddenly thought.
Jian Zhen: "???"
Don't talk nonsense! I just said it casually, and Baixiao Tower was burned down immediately... If you said it casually, this inn was also burned down...
Seems interesting!
Jian Zhen thought about it seriously. If major disasters happened one after another in the capital, the Immortal Selection Conference would definitely be delayed. Neither the Shadowless Sword Sect nor the government would hold the conference with confidence.
The purpose of their trip is to sabotage this conference.
If you do it unscrupulously...this is a good idea!
However, as soon as this idea came up, he was immediately killed by Jian Zhen.
There are many ways to sabotage a conference, and there is no need to use such dirty tricks.
He is disdainful and shameless!
"This building won't burn down, right?" Jian Zhen replied with a wry smile.
Following the lessons learned from Baixiao Tower, if this building is still burned down, the innkeeper should be dragged out and spanked!
The two chatted incessantly, and soon the sky became brighter.
The next morning, Qin Xiao and others came outside the room early to wait.
When Lu Xiaoyue finished washing and went out, she saw them and was a little surprised.
"Why are you so early?"
"Master, martial law has been imposed in the capital..." Qin Xiao said softly.
"What? Why is there martial law?" Lu Xiaoyue still didn't know what happened, and looked confused.
Li Muhong laughed and said: "I heard that Baixiao Tower was burned down last night...the martial law is to find out the person who set the fire!"
"ah?!"
Lu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "Who burned it? Why did you burn Baixiao Tower?"
"I don't know..." Li Muhong shook her head and said, "There is no news about this yet. I only know that someone deliberately set the fire... Baixiao Tower is also investigating this matter!"
"That's it..." Lu Xiaoyue nodded lightly, and then led a group of people downstairs.
Since there was a fire in Baixiao Tower, the matter of finding the owner of the building has to be put on hold for the time being. The top priority is to report to the Shadowless Sword Sect.
After having breakfast in the lobby on the first floor, Lu Xiaoyue led a group of people to the sect headquarters of the Shadowless Sword Sect.
At this time, the Shadowless Sword Sect was also very busy.
Originally, the Immortal Selection Conference was enough to keep them busy, but unexpectedly another fire broke out in Baixiao Tower. In order for the Immortal Selection Conference to proceed smoothly, the Shadowless Sword Sect had to help and find the cause of the fire as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the Immortal Selection Conference will be postponed!
The Shadowless Sword Sect is essentially a sword sect, and there are not many people who can do things. The important task of the Immortal Selection Conference is handed over to Liao Mingyan, and other people have to take over the rest.
Originally Mu Yang had regained consciousness and wanted to come back to help, but Mrs. Mu asked Mu Yang to stay at the Longhu Martial Arts School on the grounds that she had just recovered from a serious illness.
In this regard, Liao Mingyan did not dare to have an opinion and could only do his own thing.
He saw everything that happened in the Mu family in the past two days. He even knew that a group of people from the Moon Martial Arts School left the Mu family and stayed at the Tongfu Inn.
However, the reason behind this made Liao Mingyan very uncomfortable.
The reward promised by Junior Sister Yunyan was reneged on by Madam Mu...
Although this reward is indeed somewhat important, it was originally to save Mu Yang. For the people of the Mu family, as long as they can rescue Mu Yang, they will not hesitate to give everything, let alone a martial arts gym?
In Liao Mingyan's heart, he actually agreed with Mu Yunyan. A man must keep his word, otherwise he will suffer big losses.
But it's a pity that he didn't say it. After all, this was a family matter of the Mu family. He, an outsider, couldn't intervene, and even if he did, it wouldn't count!
At this time, Liao Mingyan was in the meeting hall of the Shadowless Sword Sect, checking the documents for transporting young people to Beijing from various places, when he suddenly heard someone coming to report outside the door.
"Report! Senior Brother Mingyan, the Mujian Lu Xiaoyue you asked us to pay special attention to is here to report!"
"Really?" Liao Mingyan stood up in excitement. After receiving the nod of confirmation from the visitor, he immediately shouted: "Follow me!" and then walked out.
The registration point of the Shadowless Sword Sect.
After Lu Xiaoyue reported her name, the disciple of the Shadowless Sword Sect who was responsible for the registration found the one belonging to Qingyue City from a pile of rosters, and then flipped through it for a long time before he saw Lu Xiaoyue's name.
The roster was made by the Li family in Qingyue City. It recorded the names of all the young people in Qingyue City who participated in the Immortal Selection Conference. They were brought over by the first group of people who came to Beijing.
Lu Xiaoyue looked up and found that a lot of circles had been removed.
After the man found her name, he casually drew a circle on it - this should mean that she had registered.
"Okay, you can leave on your own. Remember to come back here in five days to officially participate in the Immortal Selection Conference!" The man said this to her, and then ignored him again.
"Is it that simple?" Lu Xiaoyue couldn't believe it.
In her impression, this should be a very complicated matter that requires multiple confirmations.
I didn’t expect that it was just a matter of saying your name and drawing a circle...
Jian Zhen also felt that it was too simple, and even seemed a bit childish... How could the Immortal Selection Conference have such a crude process?
